cc_seattleIts been a while since Iโ€™ve been to Seattle, but there was a time I made trips regularly.  Seattle is one of my favorite cities for many reasons, but back then the number one reason was the music.  I was lucky to have good friends who always took care of me and showed me a good time.  It was the best of times and the worst of times, but the coffee was always good so who cares.  Hereโ€™s some of my favorite moments…

  1. First Shoot with Nirvana | March 30th, 1991 – I remember it like it was yesterday!
  2. Soundgarden at Rock Cndy | August 30th, 1991 – Surprise show for Badmotorfinger.  Went with Eddie & Beth.  Also the night I decided to direct my first video.
  3. First Shoot with Mudhoney | June 6th, 1991 – They were my favorite band at the time and getting too shoot them was a BIG thrill.  We bought a case of beer and had some fun!
  4. Seeing Nirvana & Mudhoney at the Paramount | October 31st, 1991 – A great show, but the night before in Vancouver, Canada was better.
  5. Shooting Queensryche | March 29th, 1991 – Had a great dinner with Geoff Tate the night before.  He was so nice and I loved the band.  Ended up shooting a couple live shows for them because of this shoot.
  6. Hanging with Eddie Vedder | January 18th, 1992 – I was there doing a shoot for Entertainment Weekly and I asked Eddie to help me.  I introduced him to Mudhoney and the rest is history.
  7. Shooting Soundgarden | August 29th, 1991 – It was for Creem Magazine and my 3rd shoot with the band.  A very good day!
  8. Lollapalooza | August 28th, 1991 – The last show of the first tour.  Went with Eddie and Beth.  A great day of fun and music!  Also Janeโ€™s Addiction was awesome!!!  A perfect show to end this epic tour.
  9. Shoot with Alice In Chains | September 28th, 1991 – For Rolling Stone magazine.  My second shoot with the band & I think my best.
  10. Shoot with Pearl Jam | August 29th, 1991 – The publicity shoot for the album Ten.  Shot at Discovery Park where they shot the Hunger Strike video for Temple of the Dog.
